You should update a new version compatible to the new Ags version..
I can't run the game
lol, probably should, but the reason it stalled was that AGS was changing too quick to keep up with. Small demos to show off this or that feature were more reasonable than a massive demo game. I haven't even looked at AGS code in a year, and it's been longer than that since I actually did anything with it.
I could implement multiplayer into this if you like." using an irc server"
